Lords division · 7 Nov 2002 · No. 1

Animal Health Bill

It was moved by the Lord Greaves, as an amendment to the motion that the House do agree with the Commons in their amendment 14A to Lords amendment 14, to leave out “agree” and insert “disagree”; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 36

Contents: 144 Not Contents: 108

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 36 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Lord Shutt of Greetland (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (142)
